I'm not sold on the whole Poona thing, I don't know what the true info really is. I know we are tight on scholarships, and taking a guy now means telling a guy later that's he's been cut. So I look at this Poona situation and wonder is this guy just flip/floppy on whether he wants to be at USC or is he so easily influenced by some HS Coach that he could be led to believe he doesn't want to be here. Either way, I can't figure a situation where I'd want to cut a guy to give a scholarship to a guy like that.

Then don't think it about it, just try to ignore it and save all your celebrating for NSD. That is what I am doing. Following this guy's recruiting is more drama that it was worth.

We can only take 23...if we take a full class whether he is part of it or not, won't affect an extra guy getting cut.

So why didn't he visit this weekend? I kinda feel sorry for the guy, we're only a few weeks away from NSD and he's all over the place.

He was in Austin, TX on his OV to Texas....apparently it was that visit that got him turned back to USC. But in any case his entire recruitment has been a total circus and dumpster fire IMO....if the administration at HHHS had any sense, they'd sit the HC down and have a long, long talk with him on how to conduct media relations regarding a player of his....

Mostly, his coach has been the main and only one doing the speaking from his ass for and about Poona playing elsewhere. All other readings whereby the coach is not involved, Poona has expressed interest in USC.

That would suck. Caldwell plays at a position of need and has the potential to play right away. Additionally, with uncertainty surrounding Sawyer qualifying, telling Caldwell to look elsewhere wouldn't make much sense.

I'm assuming you have 7 getting us from 17 (I learned) to 24 Gladney is included....I think we skip him before Caldwell.

I was thinking ford lammons green wideman prince Caldwell and Scott. That's 24, count back lamin it's 23 and then the odd man out would be Caldwell because we would have already taken 5(?) DL prospects.

if we close with all these, this will be one of the best, if not the best, classes at Carolina ever. According to rivals we now have nine 4* and eight 3*.....adding five more 4* and one
5*.....that gives us totals of one 5*, fourteen 4*, and eight 3*......I don't ever remember a class with numbers like that.

The 2007 class had 3 2*-rated players which drove down the ASR: one of those was Pat DiMarco. The 2009 class had 4 2*-rated players, but 2 of those were Justice Cunningham and Rok Watkins. All 3 are now in the NFL.

The 2014 class already has the highest ASR of any USC class Rivals has rated, at 3.53. ANY additions remaining would only increase that average...
